Helmut Marko has recently revealed that he is considering leaving Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls. He confirmed this to Sky Sports Germany.
Marko has been an active participant in Formula 1 for many years. The Austrian is now 81 years old and has been considering retirement. He said, "No decision has been made yet, but one thing is clear: at some point it's no longer feasible, age being a factor. The extensive travel doesn't make it any easier."

Marko has an idea for his successor

Marko then went on to say that he would like it if Sebastian Vettel took his place as advisor.
"It would be fantastic if someone like Sebastian Vettel would take over. On one hand, there's the junior program. He is already working with girls in karting here in Saudi Arabia," Marko explained.

He continued, "On the other hand, there are the broader, strategic aspects of a Formula 1 team. I believe Sebastian has found himself and now knows what he wants to do in the future, which is primarily motorsport."
After his retirement, Vettel stepped back to live a quiet and private life. He occasionally makes appearances at races or speaks to the media about the current drivers.
